Indiana Lawmakers to Change Religion Law to Back Gay Rights

Indiana lawmakers moved to change a religious-freedom law that Governor Mike Pence signed last week, seeking to quell a furor that erupted over claims that it sanctioned discrimination against gays and lesbians.
The revised legislation introduced Thursday bars businesses from refusing to serve gays and lesbians on religious grounds. The shift comes after Pence, a Republican, asked the legislature to alter the law because it provoked calls to boycott his state.
